    Honestly food was not outstanding. It felt like cooking at home. When probably I would have done a better job. Wine selection was not good at all. Not wat it used to be.

    We were so happy they were open on Christmas. Food was simply amazing. Had no problem hearing conversation. Servers were very attentive. Food service was incredibly prompt, even though it was very busy. That being said, we could not tell that they were that busy. We highly recommend this establishment for that special night with a very special someone. We will surely return. By the way, this was our first time here. Very well done.

     Food was OK. Extremely noisy as one might expect on Christmas Eve. Restaurant is not set up for large crowds. Waiters struggled to maneuver through tables and they could not help but bump into Enzo patron sitting at tables. This place has been in Naperville forever, it was much nicer before Naperville exploded. Sadly, it does not have the room to keep up with the crowd.

    We really enjoyed our dinner experience on Christmas Eve at Francesca’s. The place was packed but they managed it well. Our server Margeaux was attentive, positive and served us well. I had the Chilean sea bass special which was delicious! The sauce did not overpower the fish. Also had a Venetian G&T which had a surprisingly complex fresh flavor. Loved it! my husband had the prime filet special and it was tender and very flavorful. Overall this place has excellent food, service and ambience.

    We hadn’t been back to La Sorella in a few years and it was a treat to be back. The atmosphere is amazing, the food was exceptional and the service was friendly and welcoming. We’ll be back again soon. In our mind, LaSorella is a Naperville treasure
